+--------------------------------------+
+ MANY EONS AGO WHEN PLUTO FIRST +
+ BECAME THE RULER OF THE NETHERWORLD +
+ HE CREATED NINE UNIQUE BEASTS. HE +
+ USED SOME OF HIS OWN BLOOD TO CREATE +
+ THE BEASTS AND THUS EACH BEAST IS +
+ IMMORTAL AND POSESSES MAGIC AS +
+ GREAT AS PLUTO DOES. PLUTO ALSO +
+ GAVE EACH BEAST A VERY SPECIAL AMULET+
+ TO HELP PROTECT IT AGAINST ALL TYPES +
+ OF ATTACK. +
+ PLUTO THEN PLACED MOST OF THE +
+ BEASTS IN VARIOUS DIFFERENT PLANES +
+ AND LET THEM ROAM ABOUT. EACH BEAST +
+ COMES TO VISIT PLUTO EVERY FEW YEARS.+
+ THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE BEASTS IS TO +
+ DEMONSTRATE PLUTO'S GREAT POWER. +
+--------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------+
+ BEAST I IS THE GIANT CONSTRICTOR, +
+ AN ENOURMOUS GREEN SNAKE, AND BEAST +
+ II IS THE WINGED DEVIL, A SMALL RED +
+ IMPISH CHARACTER WITH LARGE WINGS. +
+ THESE BEASTS CAN BE FOUND IN ANY OF +
+ THEY PLANES AT ANY TIME AND PLACE. +
+ BEAST III IS THE TERRIFYING UNDEAD +
+ SNAKE WHICH IS BLUE IN COLOR, AND +
+ BEAST IV IS THE HORRIBLE DEMON-FLY +
+ A SMALL BLUE BEAST SIMILAR TO THE +
+ WINGED DEVIL. THESE TWO BEASTS +
+ STICK TO THE MATERIAL PLANE AND STAY +
+ MAINLY ON SMALL DESERT ISLANDS. +
+ BEAST V IS THE MYSTERIOUS WYVERN, +
+ A SMALL RED DRAGON-LIKE CREATURE, AND+
+ BEAST VI IS THE GREEN SNAKE-DRAGON +
+ WHICH CAN ASSUME THE SHAPE OF A DRA- +
+ GON OR A SNAKE. THESE TWO ROAM THE +
+ ASTRAL PLANE AND CAN BE SUMMONED BY +
+ A POWERFUL MAGIC SPELL. +
+ BEAST VII IS THE GIANT WYVERN +
+ WHICH IS A LARGE RED DRAGON-LIKE +
+ CREATURE, AND BEAST VIII IS THE +
+ DREADED DRAGON-DEMON A HIDEOUS WHITE +
+ CREATURE WHICH CAN ASSUME THE SHAPE +
+ OF A DRAGON OR A DEMON. PLUTO KEEPS +
+ THESE TWO BEASTS AS PETS SOMEWHERE +
+ SOMEWHERE IN THE NETHERWORLD ALSO. +
+ BEAST IX, THE ICE DRAGON, IS +
+ PERHAPS THE MOST SPECTACTULAR ANIMAL +
+ ALIVE. NO MORTAL CAN POSSIBLY AP- +
+ PROACH IT. IF FACT, ONLY PLUTO AND +
+ THE OTHER BEASTS HAVE EVER SEEN IT. +
+ IT IS BELIEVED THAT PLUTO KEEPS IT +
+ IN THE NETHERWORLD. +
